If the lost can be made the righteousness of God by imputation, your are saying Christ did not need to die.
Not at all. All of the sins of God's elect were imputed to Christ and He paid their sin debt. Christ's perfect righteousness as the Surety and the Redeemer of God's elect was imputed to them.
Exhaustive determination is false doctrine as scripture says things happen by chance.
God is the Almighty Creator and Sovereign of His creation. Nothing is left to mere chance.
Isaiah 46:9-10
Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me,
declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying,
My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure.
No one mentioned the "telescope of time."
So? I am required to restrict my word choice what I write to only what you say, Van. As the saying goes, Van, if the cap fits, then you'll just have to wear it.
God makes conditional covenants, if we do this, He will do that.
The old covenant with the ancient Israelites, such as there residency in the land of Canaan, was that way, "If you will, then I shall."
The new covenant is not conditional. The new covenant is, "I shall, and you will."
2 Corinthians 1:19-20
For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea.
For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.
